Cadbury Crème Egg, one of Cadbury's finest products changed its recipe from its premium signature Dairy Milk chocolate to a standard cocoa mix chocolate and changed its number in box from six to five.
Originally, Cadbury Crème Egg is made in United Kingdom where it contains a cloying "yolk" of yellow and white fondant using Cadbury's signature milk chocolate. Owners Mondelez International confirmed the news that they did change the recipe Mirror reports.
Kraft purchased British candy maker Cadbury in 2010 for approximately $19 billion. In a statement, spokeswoman for Mondelez International, a by-product of Kraft Foods state that they now made the new recipe of using a standard traditional Cadbury milk chocolate.
"We have always used a range of milk chocolate blends for different products, depending on their shape or consistency," the spokeswoman stated. "The fundamentals of the Cadbury Crème Egg remain exactly the same -- delicious milk chocolate and the unique creme centre that consumers love."
Cadbury Crème Egg sells around 200 million each year, but with the change in recipe, fans of the delectable treat expressed their sentiments. According to Cadbury, they made 500 million every year of Cadbury Crème Egg which is only available from Jan. to Easter.
